SEOUL, South Korea, July 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — SK hynix Inc. (or “the company”, www.skhynix.com) announced today that it has listed its American Depositary Receipts[1] (ADRs) on the NASDAQ stock market, entering the heart of the global AI industry and capital markets, and opening a new chapter to elevate its status as a leading global company.

[1] ADRs (American Depositary Receipts): Certificates issued by a depositary bank that represent shares of a non-U.S. company and are traded on U.S. stock exchanges. ADRs enable foreign companies to access the U.S. capital markets while maintaining their primary listing in their home market. They also allow U.S. investors to invest in foreign companies through the U.S. market without opening overseas brokerage accounts or dealing with foreign currency transactions.

To commemorate the listing, SK hynix held an “Opening Bell” ceremony on the morning of July 10 (U.S. Eastern Time) at the Nasdaq MarketSite in Times Square, New York, officially marking the commencement of trading.

The milestone event was attended by top leadership from both the group and the company, including SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won, Executive Vice Chairman Chey Jae-won, and SK hynix CEO Kwak Noh-Jung.

As the AI era accelerates, data centers are expanding rapidly, driving a surge in demand for AI memory to support them. SK hynix is a world-class memory semiconductor company equipped with the industry-leading technology and stable supply capabilities demanded by global Big Tech customers. In particular, the company has established a significant competitive edge in High Bandwidth Memory (HBM), the core component of AI accelerators.

With this listing, SK hynix plans to broaden its global investor base in the U.S. capital markets and further solidify its position as a “Core AI Partner.”

Prior to the listing, SK hynix conducted a global institutional investor roadshow across major regions, including the U.S., Europe, and Asia, which focused on the company’s competitiveness and growth potential as a leader in the AI memory market.

Beyond raising capital, this listing is expected to serve as a turning point for SK hynix, enabling the company to strengthen its ties with the next-generation computing ecosystem, unlock new business opportunities and deepen strategic partnerships down the road.

In his commemorative remarks, CEO Kwak Noh-Jung highlighted three core themes: Trust, Innovation, and Growth. The CEO said, “I’d like to thank our investors and customers for their trust and support. Through continuous innovation, we will push the boundaries of what memory can achieve while empowering our employees to reach even greater accomplishments.” He added, “SK hynix seeks to be wherever AI is, continually demonstrating our technology leadership.”

Following today’s successful trading debut, the ADR offering is scheduled to close on July 14 (U.S. Eastern Time). The newly issued common shares underlying the ADRs will be additionally listed on the KOSPI Market of the Korea Exchange on July 29 (Korea Time).

As a UNGC participant, Antaisolar will incorporate the UNGC Ten Principles into its RAISE sustainability strategy, which is structured around five pillars: Sound Governance, Premium Products, Equity & Inclusion, Ecological Co-existence and Shared Prosperity. Aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the strategy focuses on supply-chain compliance, carbon data management and core competency stewardship, integrating sustainability considerations into business operations and value-chain management.

The 2025 ESG Report details Antaisolar’s performance across environmental, social and governance priorities.

The report also highlights continued improvements in energy and emissions management, occupational health and safety, employee development, diversity and inclusion, community engagement, business ethics, risk management and information security, reflecting a more systematic approach to ESG management across the organization. It also links responsible product development and quality management with the company’s broader sustainability objectives, extending ESG considerations from internal operations to the wider industrial value chain. Key ESG data and practices disclosed in the report were independently assured by TÜV SÜD, enhancing the transparency, credibility and reliability of the disclosures.

Antaisolar also unveiled its 2026–2027 action plans for EcoRaise, its global ecological co-building initiative, covering four areas: environmental protection, biodiversity conservation, green energy development and sustainable lifestyles. In 2026, the company partnered with the Xiang’an Animal Protection Association to support the conservation of six national protected bird species through a dedicated donation, expanding its biodiversity efforts from plant conservation to wildlife protection.

Looking ahead, Antaisolar will continue to align its sustainability practices with the UNGC Ten Principles, advance the implementation of its RAISE strategy, and work with global partners to support the global transition toward green energy.

The rebranded Hong Kong platform, formerly GROW Digital Wealth, rolls out an AI-powered workforce across its network of 200 advisors as it accelerates expansion in the world’s leading wealth hub

HONG KONG, Aug. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Growhill Wealth, an AI-native and licensed wealth platform, today announced the launch of its agentic AI workforce designed for independent financial advisors (IFAs) across Asia, capturing a tech-driven transformation as AI boosts advisor productivity and reshapes wealth management economics globally.

Built to introduce an AI workforce into daily practice with total human oversight, this infrastructure update marks Growhill Wealth’s rebranding from GROW Digital Wealth, maintaining full continuity across platform operations and leadership. The company previously received investments from Julius Baer-backed GROW Investment Group and Animoca Brands.

Growhill Wealth, distinguishing itself through robust IFA enablement, is accelerating its expansion in Hong Kong’s US$2.9 trillion* wealth market. As the city surpasses Switzerland as the world’s top wealth hub, the firm will open a new location at One Peking Road this year, followed by a Central office in the first quarter of 2027.

“Asia’s wealth expansion marks a structural shift for independent advisory. By equipping every advisor with secure agentic AI at a fraction of traditional platform costs, Growhill Wealth frees professionals to focus on high-touch advice and client relationships—delivering a caliber of service on par with major private banks,” said Alan Lau, Executive Chairman of Growhill Wealth.

“Hong Kong serves as the ideal launchpad to bring agentic AI to global wealth management,” Lau added.

Growhill Wealth offers advisors an open, institutional-grade multi-asset product shelf, and agentic AI support across core advisory workflows, elevating independent advisory to private-bank standards under strict human supervision. Regulated services across the platform are delivered by Growhill Wealth and its group affiliates under Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission Type 1, 4, and 9 licenses, as well as an Abu Dhabi Global Market Category 3C license.

The platform, which has reached 200 advisors and US$800 million in assets under management and advice, is positioned for its next phase by empowering Asia’s wealth professionals with secure, compliant, and efficient agentic AI capabilities. Growhill Wealth’s human advisors are supported by an always-on AI workforce that monitors client portfolios around the clock and flags what needs attention, prepares research and portfolio reviews, drafts client proposals and updates, and handles routine operations and paperwork.

William Ma, Chief Investment Officer of Growhill Wealth, said, “The future of wealth management will be won on technology, operations and service. Growhill Wealth is built to give independent advisors that infrastructure on an open, AI-native platform, so they can serve clients efficiently and to a higher standard. This is the direction we are committed to leading in Asia.”

As part of this step, the group is bringing its licensed businesses together under the Growhill Wealth brand, a process being completed in line with the relevant regulatory approvals.
